    Ajay secured 30% in an exam but fell short of the

    passing mark by 60 marks, whereas Bijay scored 55% and exceeded the passing mark by 90 marks. Determine the passing marks.

    C 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total marks be ‘x’ According to the question, 0.3x + 60 = 0.55x – 90 Or, 0.55x – 0.30x = 90 + 60 Or, 0.25x = 150 Or, x = 600 Passing marks = (0.30 × 600) + 60 = 240
